If, like me, you often tear your hair out trying to nd the perfect savoury afternoon (or after-school) snack, this one is for you. A snack should be regarded as a mini-meal – a good balance of protein, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates. And, of course, some greens! Don’t let the number of eggs put you o as they are partly the reason this is such a nutritious snack or side dish. You can easily substitute the wilted nettle with wilted spinach, as long as you squeeze out the liquid. You could also add a little chilli, cayenne powder or fresh herbs, such as chives, to the batter if you like. Coconut our is available in healthfood stores and major supermarkets.
